For the month of thanksgiving and a new playlist of thanksgiving songs, I have a turkey inspired themed workout.

Warmarama- SSH, WMH, Arm Circles, Michael Phelps, Imperial walkers, Manafort Goodmornings

The Thang: Mosey over to the park for circuit work spelling out the word T-U-R-K-E-Y

One minute each and then switch- we did two complete circuits

T- Toe taps on cone

U- Up and down agility ladder

R- Run up and down steps

K- Kicks near stairs

E- Elevated homers on steps

Y- Y merkins or hand-release merkins making Y shape

The PAX were asked if they preferred turkey or sides. The group was divided based on their choices into team turkey and team sides for the next rounds of team competitions.

Over to ball work- 15 overhead claps with the butterballs and rinsed and repeated until shoulders were well done

Every good Thanksgiving or family gathering ends up in a food fight over masks or politics so we ended our turkey day with a ball food fight. Team turkey was the targets originally where if they got hit by a ball, they had to do a burpee but if the team sides missed on the toss, they had to do a burpee.

Circle and pass the turkey- in a low squat hold weighted turkey balls were passed around in a circle, the distances between the PAX slowly increased and we switched directions passing the turkeys. Any dropped weights resulted in 1 penalty burpees.

The PAX rotated between doing the above work with Vice and the block work below with Shark Tank.

Thrusters X 15

Curls X 20

Bear Crawl 25 yards and run back

Block Kettlebell swings X 15

Arnold Press X 20

Side shuffle 25 yards out and back

Blockees X 10

Around the world (block circles around the body) X 10 each direction

Crab walk 25 yards and run back

Yanni merkins X 10 sets

Bent over rows X 20

Bernie Sanders 25 yard run and back

We then rejoined as one as @doublepike got her feet wet in the q field and led the PAX through 5 minutes of tough gymnastics style Mary. 1 minute of hollow hold, 1 minute of superman/woman, 15 V-ups, 15 flutter kicks IC, 10 gymanstics stradle hold circular kicks IC. Most pax had to modify and complained immensely to doublepike’s suggestions.

COT: 51 merkins for Shark Tank’s Bday, get your mac and cheese or sweet potato pie’s from Singlet, keep in mind many families are struggling right now but try and find the best in any situation and be thankful for the blessing of good health and F3 friends.

Thanks for letting me lead and hope to see you all soon.
